Pleased to forget shoes . . .
Bare feet, sunshine parching skin
Wet grass between toes
Rain rests on red rose
Pure, glistening like teardrop
Sun shuns cloud; blue sky!
sun rises sun sets
seasons turn while mankind frets
all returns to dust
rain taps on iced glass
in bed hear the random beat
ducks rejoice and play
river floods and swells
dislodged branches career down
blankets hold me warm
Night sky spread with stars
Moon shining, sun vanquished
Owl reflects in pond
